What exactly are recitations?

[kim.]

I realize this is probably a dumb question, but I've never had a class called a recitation. They just published our P1 schedule for this fall and on Fridays we have a 2 hour Med Chem recitation. What exactly is a recititation? Is this a review for the class? Is its something thats offered on an as needed basis or is it usually mandatory just like the class?

Thanks!

It's usually a small group review for class or prep for lab. Some are mandatory, some aren't. 😉
